Starting tonight and running through Jan. 27, the Shawnee Playhouse will present "Handy Dandy" by William Gibson, a touching story about the relationship between a worldly judge and a radical nun.

Though the play's stated topic is nuclear weapon creation and proliferation (it was originally written in the 1980s), the two are actually fighting a battle in what is now a generations-old religious conflict.

Performances will be at 8 p.m. Jan. 18, 19, 25 and 26, and 2 p.m. Jan. 18, 20, 25 and 27. Tickets are $18, $15 for seniors over 55, AAA members and military.

The Shawnee Playhouse is at 552 River Road, Shawnee-on-Delaware, Pa. To reserve tickets, call the Shawnee Playhouse box office at 570-421-5093 or visit the website at theshawneeplayhouse.com.

Topics will include the impact of bullying behavior and the need for intervention, types of bullying, why students bully and how to recognize bullying, how bystanders impact the issue, how to talk with your child about bullying, how to help your child address bullying, and tips for talking with school staff.
